Project 2016 For Dummies

Easy to look up specific bits of information. The book is all inclusive & well written. I knew MSP, but an older (2003) version. The upgrades to 2018 are terrific. Yes, this book is for 2016, but there were no inherent changes from 16 to 18. This book had better reviews, so I went with it & it serves its purpose very well. I'd recommend it for a condensed, 'easy to figure out the program' guide. I will say, one must have some knowledge of MSP, or be very computer savy to understand & apply a lot of the terminology.

Very easy to read and follow along. I love these series of books for the way they convey very technical information in an easy to read format with real examples.

It gives you enough information to do the basics. It's perfect for those that only need to do the simpler things or edit existing schedules.

As always, Dummies books never disappoint. Topics are presented very clearly and systematically. Useful for future reference.

It's all in here. Great reference

Whenever I get stuck on why Project recalculates my project in a way I didn't expect, I usually find the answer here. I keep this manual on my desk.

Its a dummies book. The series is usually good.

I purchased this book to get quickly up to speed on Microsoft Project. Unfortunately, this book was of little help. Text gets bogged down in details that no beginner would ever use (or could easily figure out by themselves), and the whole text is not explained or organized very well. For instance, the most basic need for a Project manager is to compare Project expenditures against a predetermined budget - that's how every project I know ever gets approved. And yet, where is this budget feature? Not even in the book! I had to go online and watch a few youtube videos to see how to do it (and it's not very easy by the way, thank you Microsoft). In addition to fixing this, would suggest that subsequent versions (or better yet, an entirely new edition), includes a fast-track section for getting going, and perhaps some accompanying basic project that you can set up as you read along, to enhance learning. Overall - I would not recommend this book to anyone at the moment.

Great book if you are studying for the pmp or just interested in the topic. Book works with PMBOK 6 with references to the pages. Easy to read and follow.

Good book. Easy to follow and helped me to understand this version of Project.

Buono per principianti. Il libro è ben fatto e tratta gli argomenti in una buona successione logica. Da acquistare senza problemi.

Learnt a lot about project

If you've never used Project 2016 before, or you've had previous mild exposure, this book will help you get up and running fairly quickly. It does a good job of approaching the proper use of Project, and how best to set up projects in different circumstances. There's enough meat here to get novices using the software quite well, but those with a good foundation already will not learn too much more. The writing style is typical of the Dummies series, and it's readable. I bought this book for an employee who was learning project management, and the use of Project 2016, and she quickly got up to speed with the software, which is probably the best recommendation one can make for a book like this! While I'd like to have seen some deeper discussion in places, as well as showing alternative approaches to planning a project, there's more than enough here to satisfy most requirements for someone starting to use Project 2016.
